Sanding is not needed IF you apply the first coat of bottom paint before the epoxy cures. If not than yes, you should sand with 60 grit

I disagree somewhat with Sailing Dog, I think you need to remove all the old bottom paint and get down to gel coat, after all the work your doing, wouldn't it be ashame for it to start flaking because you didn't get a great bond.

Of course my job is about four years old now with n sign of blisters reappearing, but I might be eating my words any day now
